Whishlist:"The $MACHINENAME Hardware Aggregator" threads - Where $MASCHINENAME is something like FUEL,O2,.... and all the others - Combined with Hardware (GFX,Video,Router,CPUs) related pages which are linked together in categories.- Origin/Onyx troubleshooting- Non SGI gigE nics- Adding GFX to origin2000- Some like a FAQ.

And all the info have to be in the article and not like a link list which points to the forum or other resources. To be fair place add a link list to the bottom.

Anything and everything.

I started a hardware timeline template at Wikipedia. I didn't complete it because I can't find (with my limited knowledge of where to search for things SGI related) further info. But I'd love to see that completed and copied to our wiki.

heh joerg, i dig your coded answers

hmm yup the o2+fuel aggregators are already there (+ growing from time to time), with so many octane owners here, it'd be really easy to come up with one more... david (recondas) is also working on some big iron entries (pure quality dave, pics and clear descriptions)

i think it should be more eclectic, otherwise it'll end up being a copy of nekochan fora in a different format..?

i have finished my work on the scripts for import the nekoware package informations into our wiki. Befor pressing the button i would like ask for permission to do .

Maybe it make sence to create a sql dump befor we start so that we can revert all the changes if needed. On my local machine it takes 8h for the import. It depends on the number of obsolete tardists and the incredibble time the "shofiles" programm needed for extracting.

Fu, a good topic for the wiki is the 1600sw, considering how many threads come up concerning them. Things like the different multilink adaptors, how the prototype differs from the production model, and mentioning the "Radius Artica" variants would also be welcome. Pics would also probably help as well as a link to the Neko 1600sw gallery would be good too.

Also we might want to add mention of the clear O2s on the O2 page, and a pic of each of the O2 old, new, O2+, and clear skins.

I almost bought this one - viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14626, but it was missing the CD bezel and I decided to spend the money elsewhere.

I also seemed to notice 2 clear O2s for sale / trade a long time ago when I was first getting into SGIs. There should be a bunch of them, I'm guessing somewhere between 16 and 40. Though sadly some have not been well cared for, which is a real shame.

Sorry, you can somewhat tell what my #1 wanted piece of SGI kit is, i.e. a set of mint clear O2 skins.

I think 139 and 278 are both right, though 278 is more correct. I counted the pins on one of my modules and got 139 per side, so 278. My 128MB modules are double sided, but some Kingston 64MB modules (I happen to have two) are just half a 128MB module and 139. At the very least 239 is wrong.

Possibly a picture for the wiki might be helpful, I'll see if I can get some shots of my modules. I have 128MB (SGI and Kingston), 64MB (Kingston), and 32MB (SGI).

Also, how does one add pictures to the wiki? I can't believe our O2 page doesn't have a picture of an O2! I'll volunteer pics of my cube style O2 for the old style pic. I believe there are some floating around in the forum in my restoration thread.

We also might want to mention the SGI badges in the Indigo, Indy, and Indigo2 wiki pages. I'm not sure there was a badged O2, was the WebForce O2 marked differently?

thanks for clarifying scott

yup i was thinking of updating the Memory section by adding the colo(u)r-code info...

see dave's links for the wiki:editing cheat seats on the previous page

Great work! I really like the changes you made to the O2 page with the processor and RAM lists. Two minor issues, one the tables style doesn't match the others in the wiki (personally I think yours is nicer and the others should be changed), and the SS/DS (Single-Sided / Double Sided?) should be clarified.

Note, the Linux-MIPS site has a lot of specs. which might contain useful information for the wiki.

I like the VPro page and think that's the way to go. Ideally the Impact/ MARDIGRAS boards should also have a page and the sections in the Octane / Indigo2 pages (half the Indigo2 page is on IDing the video options) should be contracted. Also, do you happen to have the PV, Digital, Compression, and Analogue/Digital video option info? I think there is a lot of confusion on this. Personally, I happened to run into this http://cgi.ebay.com/SGI-Octane-Octane2- ... dZViewItem on eBay and was wondering exactly what it was.
